Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly aggressive cancer and one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths around the world. Our preliminary analysis of 78HCCsshowed 3D MRE is a promising, noninvasive technique for predicting the early recurrence of HCCs after hepatic resection. MRE-assessed tumor stiffness correlates with features such as encapsulation, macrovascular invasion, and histological grade. In the future, larger studies will improve our understanding of the relationship between HCC stiffness, invasiveness, and outcome for better allocation of treatment strategies and surveillance follow-up.
